Also, about the pagefile thing mentioned above - what is it and how do I disable/enable it (if needed)? Because someone said it's bad for SSDs.
Leave your partions as they are, its there for a good reason. I don't really know the answer to your question, sorry.

That should help. I recommended moving it to any of the partitions on your 750 GB drive. If you completely disable it, hibernation no longer works (I think).

To combine the partitions, you will need to destroy at least one of them and expand the other over the now free space. Unless you're getting low on space, I would leave it as it is - it's kind of complicated to combine them.

Alright. I'll move it to one of the partitions. What does this do again, btw? The moving of the pagefile whatever?

EDIT: Moved the pagefile from my SSD to my first HDD partition.
